Fermentation: Meaning, Mechanism and Energy Yield in Fermentation | Plant Respiration

Let us make an in-depth study of the meaning, mechanism and energy yield in fermentation. What is Fermentation? When enough oxygen is available, NADH, formed in glycolysis transfers its hydrogen to oxygen via electron transport chain, and changes to NAD for reuse. Lack of oxygen blocks the path of hydrogen to oxygen, and soon the entire NAD of the cell [...]
